Sweet Potatoes

Save Some Bourbon ...
For Your Potatoes





Sweet Potatoes play an important part of tried and true
“comfort foods.”


mashed sweet potatoes

The restaurant has always had home-style meals (comfort food) reminiscent of mom’s cooking on the menus.

And often you can use combinations of seasonings, sauces, butters and even alcohol to enhance traditional foods. This is one of those recipes.

These bourbon mashed potatoes will be a star component of your fabulous meal. But you can use this vegetable in many different ways.

  • Use them as a flavorful base for soups and sauces.
  • Have you ever tried spiced fries cut from this vegetable?
  • How about as an appetizer, especially with certain dips?
  • Consider whipping flavored sautéed leeks and mushrooms with these potatoes.

    The possibilities are endless. And they are an excellent source of vitamins and fiber.

    I also love to grill vegetables using a variety of spices, sauces and rubs.


    Vegetables on the Grill: A Garden-Grilling Cookbook - Grilled veggies are paired with pastas, grains, salads and meats to give you a whole meal off of the grill. Give it a look.

    Did you know that these potatoes can make a rich sauce to drizzle over a seasoned breast of chicken? For the home cook who craves something new and delicious and wants to enjoy food while maintaining a heart-healthy diet, check out Taste Pure and Simple by Michel Nischan.

    The cookbook won the 2004 James Beard Award for Healthy Focus & Vegetarian Cooking.

    ENJOY your Bourbon Mashed Potatoes and the company of those you share it with!
